[Yale-readings] Text & Textile - Wednesday at noon!

[Kuhl, Nancy]

Please join us this Wednesday (6-13) at noon on the Beinecke mezzanine for a staged reading of texts from the Library's current exhibition, Text & Textile, ending with a rousing rendition of William Blake’s “Jerusalem.”


The reading has been organized by Katie Trumpener, Emily Sanford Professor of Comparative Literature and English and exhibit co-curator, and includes her own selections and translations from authors ranging from Edith Wharton, Thomas Hood, Friedrich Engels, Heinrich Heine, Aristide Bruant, Rainer Maria Rilke, Charles Reznikoff, Robert Pinsky, and others.



We’ll hope to see you on the mezzanine at noon tomorrow for Text & Textile (in text and song)!

Even as the Fates spin the thread of our lives, text and textile enshroud the body in the fabric of myth, the costume of the domestic or the exotic, the imperatives of the industrious or the industrial.
